Thanks to Wartime Wednesdays, the families of two veterans who shared a Lancaster bomber for 15 missions -- one in Glasgow, Scotland, and the other in Vancouver, Canada -- are now connected. See more stories and website links of special interest to aviation buffs here.

(READERS PLEASE NOTE: For the next few months, I'll be posting every other Wednesday. To receive an email when a new post goes up, please enter your email address in the bar on the right side of the page to subscribe. Otherwise, keep checking back for new content.)

Readers send me lots of interesting tidbits – none of them long enough to form a complete blog post (not without masses of research, anyway). But here I share some of the fascinating photos, stories, and videos that have come my way.

Greetings

During my research into Canada’s wartime past, I uncovered some fascinating facts and anecdotes. I’ll share them here and welcome feedback and stories of your own.
